Day 1
After all the time you've spent planning and dreaming about going on safari, this is where it finally starts. Your guide will meet you and explain everything you need to know and answer any questions you might have. Then, we'll go out on safari together. When you stay at Pride Inn Plaza Nairobi Airport, you're in a good position to enjoy this leg of your trip. Mid-range hotel at Jomo Kenyatta Airport (Nairobi, Kenya) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 2
One of the most beautiful of Kenya's Rift Valley lakes, Lake Naivasha is a pretty place where you're likely to see hippos, and where zebras and giraffes roam the lakeshore. It's a lovely interlude during your safari. You're staying in an area northwest of Lake Nakuru National Park, which is off-the-beaten-track. You will have an overnight stay at. Rooms are taste Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp Mid-range Tented camp fully designed with plenty of cushions and artisan wood furnishings.

Mid-range tented camp at Lake Naivasha (Naivasha, Kenya) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 3
You'll be visiting the brilliant Lake Nakuru National Park. There are so many highlights to look forward to. When it comes to wildlife, there are tree-climbing lions, endangered Rothschild's giraffes, and flamingos in varying numbers on the lake. This is also one of the best parks in Kenya for seeing both black and white rhinos. It is a beautiful park with amazing views from the Out of Africa Lookout (some scenes from the 1985 film of the same name were filmed here), as well as waterfalls, acacia woodlands and pretty lake panoramas. Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge has one of the best locations in Lake Nakuru National Park. It's hidden away in a quiet valley filled with trees, but the lake and all its wildlife possibilities are close by. The lodge has good rooms with en-suite bathrooms, and there are many lovely places where you can relax, such as the swimming pool, the elegant lodge terrace, or the bar or restaurant. Luxury lodge located inside Lake Nakuru NP (Kenya) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 4
Welcome to one of the best safari destinations in Kenya! In the Masai Mara National Reserve, you're almost sure to see lions, hyenas, hippos, elephants, giraffes, wildebeests, buffaloes, impalas and zebras, not to mention the more than 500 species of birds that have been recorded here. There's also a good chance you'll encounter leopards and cheetahs, while you might also see black rhinos in the Mara Triangle. Another memorable aspect about visiting the Masai Mara is the landscape of vast savannah grasslands with plenty of flat-topped acacia trees. Relaxing is easy at Mara Kimana Camp, with a range of accommodations that includes safari tents, all of which come with mosquito nets. While you're here, you'll be able to relax in the camp and the bar and restaurant. Meet other travelers and enjoy a drink under the stars around the nightly bonfire. Mid-range tented camp located inside Masai Mara NR (Kenya) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 5
Going on safari once in the Masai Mara is a privilege, but you get to return to this special place and enjoy it all over again. Return to Mara kimana Camp. Here in the Masai Mara National Reserve, you're almost certain to see lions, hyenas, hippos, elephants, giraffes, wildebeests, buffaloes, impalas and zebras, not to mention the more than 500 species of birds that have been recorded here. Mid-range tented camp located inside Masai Mara NR (Kenya) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 6
You really do have so much to look forward to on your visit to the Northern Serengeti. The varied landscape of rolling hills, grasslands, light woodlands and the Mara River should be the scene for some fantastic animal encounters. Watch especially for elephants and big cats. The safari trails up in the park's north are generally much quieter than they are elsewhere in the park. You'll feel really close to nature when you stay at Sero Tented Camp. It's in wildlife-filled Seronera, close to the center of the Serengeti, and the tents feel like the safari tents of old with their canvas walls and floors and simple furnishings. You'll love lying in bed and listening to lions roaring or elephants feeding close by, and by day, animals sometimes move through the camp. Dine under the stars and enjoy the warmest of welcomes every time you return to camp. Mid-range tented camp located inside Serengeti NP (Tanzania) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 7
Again, explore the Northern Serengeti and deepen your knowledge of this wonderful area of the park. You'll spend time in the Serengeti, which lies in the heart of the park and is filled with wildlife. Return to Sero Tented Camp as you enjoy more time in the Serengeti National Park. Mid-range tented camp located inside Serengeti NP (Tanzania) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 8
Return to the Central Serengeti to further explore this impressive place. The Southern Serengeti is filled with wildlife (including big cats), and the scenery is among the best in the park, including savannah grasslands, acacia trees and rocky outcrops. You can enjoy the best of the Serengeti at Embalakai Camp, which is a short distance away from other safari lodges and camps but right in the middle of the park's big populations of wildlife. The wood-floored safari tents lie close to the river, and the Serengeti's famous grasslands stretch into the distance. Wildlife often wanders through camp. There's also a good dining tent. Luxury tented camp located inside Central Serengeti NP (Tanzania) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 9
There's always more to discover in the Serengeti, and you'll get more chances to do so on your return to the park. Central Serengeti National Park Exploring the Central Serengeti means experiencing acacia trees silhouetted against a backdrop of endless savannah. The wildlife viewing here is excellent and big cats are always a possibility. Luxury tented camp located inside Central Serengeti NP (Tanzania) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 10
Your day in and around Ngorongoro Crater could just be one of the most memorable of your whole safari. You’ll explore the crater rim and then drive down onto the crater floor, where the critically endangered black rhinos are the stars of an astonishing wildlife show. You’ll almost certainly see large-tusked elephants, at least one of the Ngorongoro’s four lion prides, and wandering clans of spotted hyenas. It also just happens to be one of Africa’s most beautiful corners, a hidden world where you’ll be surrounded by steep, deep-green crater walls, a salt lake, forests and hippo-filled waterways. Mid-range lodge located 1-2hr drive from Ngorongoro Crater (Tanzania) All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
Day 11
Wherever you go in Tarangire National Park, you’ll come across the park’s famous and larger-than-life baobab trees and elephants. These are the twin elements that give this park so much personality. There is, of course, so much more. We don’t just mean the huge populations of wildebeests, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, baboons, vervet monkeys and zebras or the rugged landscape of rocky hills and rivers, swamps and savannah plains. You also have an excellent chance of seeing lions here – Tarangire is a real lion stronghold – and keep an eye out for leopards and cheetahs. In a wonderful location between Arusha National Park and Mount Kilimanjaro, Original Maasai Lodge is true to its name, with a real sense of local culture, from the staff (most of whom are Maasai) to the decor. Fine meals and a swimming pool are among the facilities, but it's the overwhelming sense of character here that you'll most enjoy. The rooms are a mix of stone, wood and thatch. Mid-range lodgeless than 1hr drive from Arusha (City, Tanzania) All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
Day 12
It will be another wonderful day! Early in the morning, you can enjoy the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro through a walking or cycling tour with forested slopes and fascinating villages in the shadow of Africa's highest mountain.

We choose the location carefully, both for its beautiful views and to make sure there are no dangerous animals around! It's a wonderful experience.
